Please add the node status information back into the individual node overview.
Suggestions:
Use a colored indicator to identify each status. Color can also be used with a smaller card view for operators with more than one node or other future node views.
Add a clickable Information icon to produce a dismissable dialog with a basic description and a link to a Discourse post, whitepaper page, etc with in-depth, technical explanation of each status in the lifecycle.

STATUS INDICATORS…

Read carefully, he uses the word back. We had that feature in the beginning and it gave a lot of confusion. That is why it was removed. Hopefully at some point it will be added back in when it can determine the status in a reliable way.

To be fair – we also didn’t have a source of information from which to reference questions and answers. There was the Telegram channel, which is not a good way to disseminate institutional information. This created a lot of the confusion because conversation threads overlap making it difficult to follow a thread. It is even harder to point others back to what information was available.

A necessary support structure was not in place at the time. This forum provides a solid base for that support structure that was missing, even if people don’t read.

I am missing your point, but that is okay. Guess I am a little allergic to cheering for features that are/were on the radar already. My bad.

And my personal opinion is, this forum is not ideal for providing information either. It is great for brainstorming and discussing things but not for the “educational” aspect of the project. That is where the Incognito Academy idea originates from.

Yes to the Incognito Academy.
Yes to a newer, updated indicator right there on the node screen that says something simple like “waiting to be selected to earn, please be patient” or something.
Just cause it was a shoot and a miss in the beginning doesn’t mean it can’t be broached again.
On the contrary, y’all have grown and done so well since, that I think a revised look at missed opportunities that were done at the beginning should be re-looked at, just to see with fresh eyes if it should, could or can be done. I think you all can do it.

Incognito Academy Sound great. Coinbase has a great method of educating people about certain coins. The short videos use great graphics to explain coins like Stellar, DAI ect…
Not sure who produces them for Coinbase but if we could utilize the same producers to make one for PRV it would go long way to educating the public
